I dont deprive myself of anything that I am craving. Once in awhile i get a craving for chocolate so instead of buying a whole chocolate bar I bought a bag of chocolate chips, if i have a craving i just grab a few (literally 3-5) chips and i am satisfied!!!

Don't deprive yourself of anything, just learn to balance treats out by cutting back on something else.

MORE INFORMATION:
A lot of people completely cut out chocolate, cheese, butter, cream, etc, etc, and think they are doing the right thing. But all this achieves is to make themselves feel deprived. For example, a small scrape of butter is far better (and tastier) than any amount of made in a lab substitute butter!
